Sinatrabilia - 10″ Records
Published by October 20th, 2006 in Memorabilia and Recordings. 0 CommentsOf all the categories of Sinatra memorabilia, I’d have to say that the 10″ LP is possibly my favorite. They’re sightly smaller than a regular size LP and, yet, large enough for attractive artwork and liner notes that can be read without a microscope (as is the case with the CD).
The 33RPM 10″ LP […]

Joe’s Dartblog has a section called Sunday Morning Sinatra, which I’ve thoroughly enjoyed today. There are about 8 different posts, each of which contains a rare or unusual segment of Sinatra video, including Sinatra’s performance at the White House in the early 1970s, The Frank Sinatra Show, and some Frank and Dean Martin material.
The Greenbriar Picture Shows has an interesting short article on some of the most obscure Rat Pack movies, including promo posters. There are several here I’ve never seen before.
In my most recent post I mentioned how an early Sinatra film, Till the Clouds Roll By had fallen into the public domain. Much to my surprise, I learned the film can be download online for free with absolutely no strings attached! It is available in a variety of file sizes to make downloading easy. […]
Old Man River remains one of my favorite Sinatra tunes, even after having heard it hundreds of times in several different versions. This song was one of the hallmark performances critics pointed to when they talked about Sinatra’s breath control, which can be easily seen and heard by clicking play to watch this […]
